Suggest Treatment For Blocked Bile Duct

Hi my husband has been suffering from a blocked bile duct. A dr. In Newfoundland tried twice to put a stent in with no success. His eyes are yellow and they are running test now just in case he need to go for a liver transplant. We were hoping to leave the province to see another Dr. To see if possiable to get a stent in to open up the bile duct. If they cook get out through the bile duct he wouldn t need a transplant!!

Hi,

Noted the history about your husband having blocked bile duct and the stenting failed.
The alternatives are there :
- First of all to have MRCP that is MRI of liver, bile tree and pancreas to know the exact cause of the blockage.
- If the blockage is old one can go for per-cutaneous stenting of the dilated bile duct.
- Laparoscopic or open exploration and to go for any bypass.
- It is necessary to have prothrombine time. And get treated with Vitamin K.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
